Tim Peake has shared a puzzle astronauts have to pass before flying to space… so can YOU crack it?

TIM Peake managed to perplex the internet with THIS puzzle.

The 45-year-old British astronaut shared one of the brainteasers from his new book, Ask An Astronaut on his Facebook page, and it is incredibly tricky.

One Facebook user, Jim King, said: “Can’t follow ambiguous instructions, and making an assumption about them that might be different to the person who wrote them would be potentially dangerous.”

Another, Jo Roberts, said: “Imagine holding the cube in your open hand. That’s how I did it. The dot was on the bottom at the end of the moves. The drawing is of no relevance really when you’re asked to do this in your mind.”

Liam Desborough interjected: ” You need to think about the setting you are being asked this question.

“It’s not for philosophy school or entrance to debate club. It’s an exam for a heavily technical scientific role where getting the answer correct is imperative.”
